"Have you heard? The Imperial Censorate and the Supreme Court are fighting!”
"I heard that the Supreme Court has rivers of blood!"
"Hundreds of people died. Rumor has it that none of the Imperial Censorate's Imperial Guards died!”
"Who knows why the two divisions fought?”
Two hours after the fight between the Imperial Censorate and the Court of Judicial Review, the news spread throughout Chang 'an, and the streets and alleys were filled with discussions.
More than 100,000 people in Chang 'an were shocked to find that the young censor, who was originally unknown, could cause a bloody storm overnight. Moreover, after the chaos, he was unharmed!
State Duke of Liang's residence.
Fang Xuanling listened to the butler's description in silence. He stood in the courtyard and looked up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back."Governor Guard, the blade of the Son of Heaven?"
……
Duke Zhao's mansion.
Zhangsun Wuji calmly looked at the information on the table and said to the manager in a deep voice,"Send a message to the Crown Prince. If you meet Du He in the future, don't use your status to suppress others. If you fall into Du He's hands, no one can save him!”
……
Duke Wei's mansion.
Li Jing sat in the middle of the hall, sipping his wine glass. He closed his eyes as he listened to his steward excitedly talk. He chuckled and said,"The Imperial Guards trespassed into the Court of Judicial Review without a scratch, and His Majesty did not issue an edict to blame them. Tomorrow's morning court will be very lively.”
……
Duke Lai's estate.
"Unfilial son, unfilial son! Does he still treat this old man as his father? Why can't he do anything and go to the Supreme Court to fight?”
After learning the news of his second son, Du Ru stomped her feet in the room, but she shouted in an unheartfelt manner,"What if he gets cut and injured? This old man has just recovered from his illness, and he doesn't understand this old man!”
"Master, why are you doing this?”
Mrs. Du looked at her husband's frightened look and covered her lips with a smile."Didn't the news come back saying that He 'er is fine?”
"I'm fine this time. What about next time?"
Du Ruhui's face turned red as he glared at her.""You're his mother after all. Why aren't you worried?”
"He 'er can bring Master back from the dead, what does he have to worry me about?”
Mrs. Du said with a smile. Suddenly, a layer of coldness appeared on her face as she whispered,
"As long as he's fine, I don't care about anything. The Old Master is the pillar of the family, so I can't ask anything. But if He 'er is bullied by anyone, I will drag the person who bullied my son to the netherworld with me even if I have to die!”
Tsk, why is this woman here again? Du Ruhui raised his eyebrows, and the anxiety and anger in his heart disappeared without a trace. His wife was well-educated and knew right from wrong. The only bad thing she had was that she could not bear to see her son being bullied.
Du Ruhui lay on the bed and covered his head with a thin blanket. He snorted coldly and said,
"Forget it, this old man will also go to the morning court tomorrow to meet those colleagues who have not seen each other for a long time. I hope they will not make things difficult for my son, or else this old man will make them suffer!”
————
It was not just the High Duke's estate. The entire estate was in an uproar as well. Everyone was quietly waiting for the wrath of the Imperial Court.
However, to everyone's horror, Taiji Palace seemed to have gone silent. No news came out at all.
Not long after, the civil and military officials received news that Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin and Duke Yi Qinqiong were leading troops to protect the Imperial Censor.
Everyone immediately understood that Li Er wanted to protect Du He!
"This thief Du He is too arrogant!”
In Duke Zheng's Mansion, Wei Shuyu, the eldest son of the Wei family, who was nearly thirty years old, was roaring hysterically in the house,
"Du He barged into the Court of Judicial Review without permission and not only captured Wei Yuan, but also his father Wei Liang. These are all people of our Wei Clan. Father, how long are you going to remain indifferent? Do you really want to see our Wei family all die before you're satisfied?”
Wei Zheng lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
It was as if he did not hear his eldest son's voice. When his son's voice was hoarse and he could not speak, Wei Zheng slowly opened his mouth and said,"Let me ask you, is Wei Yuan's matter related to you?”
"No!"
Wei Shuyu shook his head and said angrily,""Do you think you can just leave me in the lurch just because you're fine?”
"Since it doesn't matter, then let's just watch from the sidelines.”
Wei Zheng looked at him and sneered." I know Wei Yuan's personality better than you do. I've fought with Du He before and I know Du He's personality better than you do. With Du He's character, would he barge into the Supreme Court without any explanation? That Wei Liang has done so many things behind this old man's back. Do you think this old man is blind and can't see?”
"Father, what do you mean?" Wei Shuyu asked in astonishment.”
Wei Zheng couldn't be bothered to argue with his son. On the surface, there were too many things that couldn't be told to outsiders. He just said indifferently,
"Du He's actions this time will not be without reason. Moreover, His Majesty has already made it clear that he wants to protect Du He. If anyone goes to the Imperial Censorate to find trouble with Du He at this time, this old man is sure that the other party will not have an easy time!”
"But what if Du He finds trouble with Father?”
Wei Shuyu gritted his teeth and said,
" Father, you've seen Du He's temper. Although I've never seen him, everyone in Chang 'an knows the name of Du He and Du Sanben of the Censorate. He's a man who takes advantage of others. Today, he not only consulted the ministers, but also His Majesty. In the afternoon, he even consulted the Empress. Who knows who he will consult in the morning court tomorrow!!”
Wei Zheng was silent, but the corner of his eyes twitched.
In reality, Wei Zheng had also noticed this problem. Moreover, when he found out that Du He had led the Governor's Guards and used the Imperial Censorate's name to fight with the Court of Judicial Review, capturing Wei Yuan and Wei Liang, he knew that he was most likely going to die.
But the problem was that Li Er was standing behind Du He!!
If anyone were to find trouble with Du He at this time, even a few heads wouldn't be enough to chop off!!
"Forget it…"
Wei Zheng sighed and said," Tomorrow, you will go to court in my place. You are the official of Guanglu Temple, after all. You have the right to be in the court. You can go and sound him out when the time comes."”
"I'm not going!"
Wei Shuyu's expression changed drastically as he shouted,""Even Father, you have been messed up by Du He. If I go to court tomorrow, what if Du He gets involved!”
"You didn't do anything wrong. Why would he involve you?”
Wei Zheng looked at him and said faintly,"When the time comes, remember that silence is golden in the morning court!”
Silence is golden my ass, silence will get you beaten, silence will get you beaten. The Empress didn't say anything, but Du He found a reason to get involved!
Wei Shuyu cursed silently in his heart. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Although he was a Guanglu Shaoqing and did not have the right to consult others, he was the eldest son of Imperial Censor Wei Zheng. If he wrote a memorial in his father's name in court…
Wei Zheng closed his eyes and was thinking about what to do next. He did not see his eldest son's sparkling and wise eyes at all.
If he knew what Wei Shuyu was thinking at this moment, he would definitely jump up in anger and beat his son to death. He could have tricked anyone, but he actually tricked his father!
